Brentford welcome Chelsea to the Brentford Community Stadium for this EFL Cup quarter final match. Brentford are fresh off a 2-1 over Watford but had their momentum stopped when their last match with Southampton was postponed due to Covid. They have won their last two home matches after losing three in a row at home. Brentford will be seeking their first ever EFL title with their previous best result a semifinal exit in the 2020/21 season. After a great start to life in the Premiership Brentford are starting to feel the pressure as a few injuries has seen them win just two of their last seven matches. Brentford will be hoping that Chelsea focus their attention on the Premiership and possibly field a weakened team against them.

Chelsea were flying high at the top of the table but have had a recent slump in form. They will need to arrest their slump or Brentford could dump them out the Cup. Chelsea have won just two of their last seven matches. Their last match was a goalless draw against Wolves. They went from being top of the table a month ago to third position in the league. They also had a 3-3 draw against Zenit in the Champions League during this period. The hallmark of their early season form was their outstanding defence but until their last match against Wolves they had gone six matches without a clean sheet.
